Teenage prodigy
Kate Bush – the raven-haired musical maverick behind Wuthering Heights, Running Up That Hill and Cloudbusting - turns 50 on 30th July 2008. Born in Kent in 1958, Bush learned piano at the age of 11 and came to the attention of Pink Floyd's Dave Gilmour when she was 16; he had heard a tape of her songs from a family friend. He helped her get a contract with EMI, though for the first two years Bush spent more time on school studies than recording.
